So, if we have negative beliefs around weight loss such as I'll just always be overweight, or losing weight involves eating foods I despise & doing exercise I hate, then of course you'll always revert back to your old behaviors. BUT, If you instead realize you deserve to be healthy, to feel amazing in your own body & get the body you desire without hating your life, you'll be able to lose weight.

It is about hitting rock bottom and then realising you are only halfway down. Ultimately, it's about hanging on to your last straw of sanity and finding laughter in the darkest of times.
